With Valentine’s Day coming up, we can think of nothing more romantic (and downright relaxing) than a massage with our award-winning Apricot Body Oil. But when you’re done loosening up those tight shoulder muscles, you’ll find that this luscious body oil isn’t just miraculous for rubdowns and can be used in other surprising ways.

RELAX IN AN AROMATIC BATH

For an all-over skin conditioning treatment, add 1-2 capfuls of Apricot Body Oil to your bath. Dim the lights and close your eyes for an indulgent aromatic experience. Muscles tired and aching after a rigorous workout? Add 2 cups of Epsom salts to your apricot-infused bath for ultimate relaxation. Once emerging from your heavenly soak (if you can!), smooth a few drops of Apricot Body Oil onto slightly damp skin for deeper penetration of this luscious oil’s feel-good ingredients.

SLOUGH OFF DRY WINTER SKIN

Say goodbye to dry and flaky winter skin by mixing a few drops of Apricot Body Oil with two shakes of Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant. Rub your hands together to create a creamy paste and apply it to dry areas as a gentle all-over body scrub. The rice powder and lactic acid in the Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant slough off dead skin cells and buff skin texture to leave it looking perfectly polished, while the Apricot Body Oil adds a dose of deep hydration for gorgeous, velvety skin.

They say it can take 30 days to create a new habit and what better time than the first 30 days of 2017 to re-plan your skin care routine and achieve your best skin? For the next month, try out our 30 daily tips and incorporate them into your regular routine. Although these tips are just a limited selection of recommendations, you’ll find these suggestions – and our natural, organic and Biodynamic® skin care – will optimize your complexion and bring out your inner goddess.

Here are the first 16 tips to kick off the month – check back with us next week to complete the 30 day habit!

DAY 1
Go dairy and sugar free today. Especially if you’re recovering from an indulgent holiday diet, you’ll want to reduce your intake of these types of food. Studies now show a definite link between consuming dairy and high-sugar foods with problem skin (Skin Inc).

DAY 2
Wear moisturizer with sunscreen today and everyday. Did you know that UV rays are responsible for 80% of all signs of aging skin (Daily Mail)? Try one of our favorites, the Red Currant Protective Moisturizer SPF30 and screen your complexion from the visible signs of aging.

DAY 3
Drink 8 glasses of water today and everyday. Water hydrates your skin and helps clear toxins from the body.

DAY 4
Clean your makeup brushes today and at least once a week with our Natural Brush Cleaner. Keep your skin in its best shape by avoiding bacteria which can be spread by dirty makeup applicators.

DAY 6
Exfoliate today and at least twice a week. Sloughing off dead skin cells will brighten up the look of your complexion and prevent clogged pores. Try our Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant which can be used for all skin types.

DAY 7
Book a facial at an authorized Éminence spa. Take your skin to the next level with regular treatments at a spa with estheticians who are trained in Éminence techniques and products.

DAY 9
Go without makeup today. Give your skin a chance to rest and breathe freely without cosmetics for at least one day on a regular basis.

DAY 10
Drink a cup of green tea. Packed with healthy antioxidants, green tea combats free radicals that age the skin and body.

DAY 11
Mask today and at least once a week. Facial masks can add hydration, balance skin, pull out impurities and replenish nutrients. Explore our masques and treatments for one that’s right for your skin type.

DAY 12
Exfoliate your lips. Is your pucker feeling rough and scaly? Try the Citrus Enzyme Lip Exfoliator in our Lip Trio Kit to refine and smooth the lip area with fruit enzymes.

DAY 13
Apply body lotion after your shower everyday. Maximize hydration by locking in a layer of moisture immediately with a moisturizer like our Coconut Firming Body Lotion.

DAY 14
Wear sunglasses. When you reduce the number of times you squint and frown due to bright daylight, you diminish the fine lines and crow’s feet that develop around your eyes.

DAY 15
Get your beauty sleep. Target dark undereye circles and puffy eyes by getting a full night’s sleep and look refreshed the next morning.

DAY 16
Wipe down your cellphone. Do you know how many germs live on your cellphone which transfer to your face when you answer a call? Clean your phone regularly and promote healthy, bacteria-free skin.
